(Brazil) on 12 Mar 2002, 8:29 a.m., in response to message #1 by Chris Roccati Hi; do you need a replacement, say, the component itself, or only it's contents? I have an old 82104A that is not working (after plugging it in and turning the 41 on, it shows CARD ERR and locks the calc, having the batteries to be removed to switch it off), let me know if there is anything you need. Cheers.

Re: HP-41C Card Reader ROM Message #6 Posted by Chris Roccati on 12 Mar 2002, 6:35 p.m., in response to message #5 by Jim L Apparently HP released the HP-41C/CV/CX roms to the public, as most of the roms can be found in all the emulators distributions. The only missing one is the Card Reader. I don't know if HP made an explicit exception for that part or simply nobody cared to dump it.

Re: HP-41C Card Reader ROM Message #7 Posted by Jim L on 12 Mar 2002, 7:04 p.m., in response to message #6 by Chris Roccati As far as I know these have not been released. In my experience, simulators that can be easily traced to a person (like Eric's) don't include ROMs.

Re: HP-41C Card Reader ROM Message #8 Posted by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) on 12 Mar 2002, 11:35 p.m., in response to message #4 by Chris Roccati The card reader never arrived to Italy??? I bought mine here in Milan in 1980. Quite expensive, sure, but I remember that all the accessories were available here too... Never bought the printer though: it cost an arm and a leg! Massimo

Re: HP-41C Card Reader ROM Message #9 Posted by Chris Roccati on 13 Mar 2002, 6:37 p.m., in response to message #8 by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) So it was actually sold in Italy... I was unable to find it, at that time. I wanted it badly: when I started tinkering with synthetic programming "MEMORY LOST" became the most common thing on my 41 display...

Re: HP-41C Card Reader ROM Message #10 Posted by Chris Roccati on 15 Mar 2002, 5:07 p.m., in response to message #3 by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) I could extract the rom from the dead reader and dump it... This can be an option if I can't find a simpler way...
